Jimmy Garoppolo has been everything the Raiders expected from a veteran QB, and rookie Aidan O'Connell has been a revelation this preseason.
Through two games, O'Connell has completed 72.2% of his passes for 304 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He has been sacked just once, posting a 125.4 passer rating.During the offseason, when the Raiders moved on from Pro Bowl quarterbackin favor of an injury prone Garoppolo and did not draft a QB of the future in the first round, NFL observers rightly wondered what McDaniels was doing at the most important position on the field.
"We've got three practices this week, we've got a preseason game, got three practices the following week, so kind of looking at it in totality. There's a lot of decisions and conversations to be had internally about what we're going do and how we're going to use this final preseason game coming up in Dallas."
